In order to successfully sell a house, you have to cover many different factors. You have to get the pricing right, hope that the property value in your neighborhood is at a fair level, and the surrounding economy is on the increase, or at least steady, as well. Just as crucial is how your house is visually presented and the condition that it is in. To successfully sell your house, you want to create a presentation of your house and your property that people cannot turn down. What is “Staging” a Home? A significant amount of preparation often goes into preparing a home for sale. “Staging” a home essentially means that you clear out all of the unnecessary clutter and set up the minimal amount of furnishings and décor to create appeal for potential buyers. In order to do this, you have to look at your house like a buyer would. Whether you are doing this yourself or you have a real estate or company helping you, you will need to decide where you will put all any extra furniture, décor, and belongings. Where Can You Put Everything? If your home is in Orlando, the perfect solution to help you stage your home can be an Orlando storage unit. Not only is it the perfect place to temporarily hold your belongings, it can also work double-time, holding your belongings until you move into your new home. People selling their homes realize fairly quickly that realtors rarely give much notice when people are interested in viewing a home for sale. Decluttering Your Home The first step to staging your home would be to clear out all of the clutter. The less clutter there is, the more spacious your home will appear. You should focus on your kitchen, living room, and bathroom, as these are the rooms that buyers will be looking at the most. The master bedroom and bathroom should be as clutter-free as possible, too. Items that you should consider getting rid of include extra furniture, boxes of packed items, collections, personal photographs, your children’s toys, and piles of paperwork. In the kitchen, utensils, pots and pans, dishes, crock pots, and anything else that takes up counter space should be packed away. The foyer of your home should be especially clutter-free and perfectly clean, as this is the first place that a buyer will walk into and see. First impressions are crucial, so make sure you make a good one. Make sure you clear as much floor space throughout your home as possible. And, don’t stash it all into your closets, the basement, or garage, because buyers will want to see those areas, too.
